unintentional clear glass jar obsession!
this summer... i've been picking up clear bottles and jars at yard sales and thrift shops. i haven't done it on purpose. normally, my eyes only see pink and green and the occasional pale yellow. but, hot-diggity dog, there's some cute clear jars to be rescued, reclaimed and most importantly, recycled.
what's inside them? from left to right:
-simple wild carrot, plucked from the field in a hot chocolate bottle.
-a mixture of homey spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and all spice. i picked up a dozen or so cans of used spices at a yard sale... then, came home and mixed them all together... capped them in the jar and will use for a cozy kitchen smell, this fall and winter. (i'll just boil a tablespoon or so, w/ a little water on top of our stove and let the aroma linger.)
- just a big, old jar with plastic wrap and holes poked in it. it's home to a monarch chrysalis... who is just days away from busting out of his cocoon.
- two bottles of homemade oregano vinegar and one bottle of basil vinegar.
-a glass teddy bear jar with another field-plucked wild carrot.
have you been thrifting, lately? what treasures have you found?
